| Bitpanda Card | "All users receive a flat 1% cashback on eligible purchases paid with cryptocurrencies", paid in the same crypto (official, help centre FAQ, checked 20 Oct 2026). Purchases funded by EUR, precious metals, stocks or stablecoins (USDT, USDC, EUROCV) earn nothing (official). The card page metadata still reads "up to 2%", a leftover from the earlier BEST VIP scheme (official, checked 20 Oct 2026). |
